Name: James Campbell
Ship: Lady Penhryn
Reason: Captain of Marines
Ship Experience: As well respected officers and marines life aboard ship for us was far better than the convicts had it. We were given decent rations to eat and living quarters that were above the convicts and far less cramped.
Fugitive sighting:
That bumbling captain Phillip, what a fool to let this convict escape. What do you know of this convict? I assure you I will get my best men onto tracking him down and punishing him to the fullest!
The Future of James Campbell: I took a great interest in the flora and fauna of this new found land. I sent seeds, a kangaroo skin, and drawings by Captain John Hunter, back to my good friend Lord Ducie in England. I was highly critical of Governor Phillip's leadership and of the settlement in general, as I believed it could not succeed.
After doing my duty by helping to establish the colony in Sydney I was sent to Rose Hill (now Parramatta) to make preparations for a settlement there.
I returned to England on the Gorgon, departing December 1791.
